dam Sandler's latest over-the-top comedy, is so stuffed with gags, cameos, gross-out humor and movie parodies that it's as if the filmmakers crammed everything they could think of into the blender.

In fact, the screenplay, co-written by Sandler, Robert Smigel and Judd Apatow (before Apatow became hot), was quietly shelved after 9/11, then was revived under a different name, only to be shelved again. And here it is.

Sandler stars as the titular Zohan, an Israeli anti-terrorist operative, Zohan -more of a Mossad superagent, really. In fact, as learn in the opening scenes, he's almost an Israeli superhero, able to catch speeding bullets with his nostril, disable teams of men by himself and play hacky sack with his butt (with which he can also cook fish(don't ask)). He can make balloon animals out of the rocks hurled at him by Palestinians.

But, he has tired of the fighting and wants to move to New York and make the world "silky smooth." So, in order to pursue his dream of becoming a hair stylist in NYC, Zohan fakes his own death while on a mission to capture a Palestinian terrorist nicknamed the Phantom (John Turturro).
